When an entrepreneur’s product can be purchased from a brick and mortar store, increased brand recognition is often an accomplishment that leads to more open doors and a manifestation of hard work. This is why Outpost Natural Foods’s effort to be inclusive in its product offerings is particularly significant for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) business owners.
According to WUWM, the Wisconsin-based co-operative recognized that COVID-19 exposed many disparities in non-White ethnic groups. Additionally, racial justice issues has been on the company’s radar. These factors led Outpost Natural Foods to take inclusive steps to feature more minority-owned businesses as vendors.
